Russia spent 100k on ads on Facebook. If that’s enough to swing your election, I could own your country single-handedly in a few years.

That’s not a bad analogy.  The only problem is that you don’t always get to decide how valuable your favor is, especially when you’re in a tight spot.

And the backing of that government not to metnion the solid power of said economy has led to a continued and remarkable drop in the vaule of said currency...steadily and never reversing, over the last 50 years.

Ugh, you again?  Please read the whole thread before commenting.

omg I’m with you.

Holy shit - Stevie Nicks looks AMAZING.  She’s frigging 70 years old!

What am I wrong about? I’m not commenting on the legality of anything - “discrimination” is not a legal term. It’s just that certain KINDS of discrimination are illegal.

It’s a bad thought experiment, since many people would agree that that is good discrimination.

Again, it’s the cake itself that became the focus of both the case and at least the statements of the baker, the idea being the issue…

Wrong about the rationale or wrong about him winning the case?
